KH 07 24" rims?

I've muni'ed the heck out of my 2007 KH24 and never even had the wheel
go out of true.

Is it possible the stock wheel build was not so good? A well built
wheel is quite important for stuff that big.

so!

sold the koxx DH pro, bought myself a kh 24", street'ed it up. I
noticed it came with the drilled rim ( kinda sketchy), i thought
nothing of it. Until i ripped 3/4,s of the spokes out of it flipping a
9( well tiny steps so an 8). First day of riding and a taco the rim,
BRUTAL!
it was weird because the spokes all popped out ( litteraly *popped*),
except it sounded more like a gun shot.

just wondering if anyone else these problems when riding muni with it.

ill post pics in a bit, my buddy took some pictures of the after math

were you filming the shot?
cause i bet that would be an impressive shot
and i want to see the pictures too

just buy a solid wide rim, maybe a dx32 or sun doublewide, or if you're
going really crazy and don't care about weight, the large marge will
put up with just about anything (might be really bad for street though!

Kris himself has tacoed rims. I myself have 3 KH rims on my KH20 KH24
and KH29. no problems with them. I am regularly doing 3 foot drops and
I don't always manage to roll out. Then again I only weigh about 145
pounds.
I am much happier with the KH 47mm rims than the Alex 32mm.

Exactly my thoughts, I occasionally roll my 24" duro and I couldn't
imagine going to a narrower rim. (mind you I don't have a KH, rather
one of those qu-ax bx-## rims)

Sorry to hear that Justin.
I didn't get the 07 KH when I heard that the rims was drilled... I
heard of some other people tacoing them.
Hopfully next year's rim is hole-less.

fine.....what kind of tire pressure you running in that beast?

Another pick?

It's hard for me to see the bend at that angle.

What's the other rim? Did you already have it laying around?

Ride everywhere and never just ride anywhere. If you can ride where you
are going within a hour, do it, and if you can do a trick 50-75% of the
time do it along the way.

hey justin,
it sounds like a bad batch of spokes. I doubt the drilled out rim had
anything to do with it. call up whoever you got it from and tell them.
you also might want to email kris; he may be interested to know of this
breakage (it is the first I've heard of).
